HTML to Latex CONVERTER ********

HTML to Latex CONVERTER ********

[vasan999]

I am very depressed now with the following problem.

I have a set of html files, must be human readable

that I want to convert to human readable latex.

The program by
http://in.geocities.com/ad_rab/

produces human unreadable tex. and i could not see the compiled
resulting dvi.

The gnu program produces human readable latex, but does not handle all
the tags.

the C program by Faase ??? produces human readable latex but misses a
few tags.

The C program is unreadable by me so I cant modify it.

On sourceforge there are two programs one in Perl and the other in
Java.

The perl one does not run due to path problems.

The java one produces complicated latex, possibly human readable, but
that does not compile so I could not see its quality.

Does someone have a program? I prefer a well documented and fully
commented program that one can modify or one that can do the job
without the need for understanding its operation.

Please help. The situation is very desperate.

I would be depressed about your hair if I were you!

Sending a message to more or less randomly chosen newgroups does not help 
much with that.

Latex is a typesetting language and not meant to be human-readable.

Yes, but I wrote it for myself only and haven't used it for years.

How desperate, really? Try offering 20,000 dollars, for example. You are 
asking for a program that is straightforward but very tedious to write, with 
limited market, and you're setting high standards for it.

If it's only for the sake of typesetting, you can typeset them directly
with the htmltex package.

Have you tried awk?  Writing awk scripts is pretty simple and you
should be able to convert things (like paragraphs, etc) with simple functions.
